This is less of a blog than an information sharing post because I’m now running more retreats, Red Tents and workshops.  I have added an Events page to the site which I will keep up to date.

I’ve been running Red Tents in Oswestry since September and I’m running one in Ledbury in December 1st. Red Tents are women’s gatherings which you can find out more about here.

I ran a Hygge retreat last weekend in Oswestry focusing on self-care and reflection on the year which is ending.  People said; ‘

‘You brought together some lovely people’

‘I felt at ease’

‘Great location, clean, beautiful, peaceful, a treat, looking forward to the next one.’

Book

I’ve just finished writing the first draft of a book on domestic abuse.

I have interviewed 7 women, about their experience and have woven their stories with mine to create a joined narrative of the phases of abuse.  I really want this book to be read, to help women in abusive relationships to leave, to help those who have left, to recover and to educate women so they can avoid these kids of relationships.

It is for this reason I am asking for your help.  Would you be able to work with me on bringing this book into the world and getting it to as many people as possible?  My interest is not in making money from the book, indeed, I am happy for any proceeds to go to the charities supporting victims of abuse.  My interest is in doing whatever I can, to help where ever I can to ensure that women and children are safe.

My dream

In 2019 I’d love to run a week long retreat either in the UK or abroad.  I’ve qualified in Indian Head Massage so as well as coaching and training will be including massage, meditation and yoga (which I will be training in from January).

I also have a mad idea, that if you want me to come and run something near you, then ask.  If you can gather the people then I will do what I can to get to you to lead mini-retreats which we can mix to your needs using any of the ingredients here.  Maybe as an alternative hen night or birthday party or just a treat for you and your friends.

These circles of people are what I love to do and where I feel like I can bring a little more light to the world through holding them.  Join me.

I look forward to hearing from you.
